Air-Hammer - A WPA Enterprise horizontal brute-force attack tool

Created by Michael "Wh1t3Rh1n0" Allen, 2016-09-01

Introduction

Air-Hammer is an online brute-force attack tool for use against WPA Enterprise networks. Although WPA Enterprise is often considered "more secure" than WPA-PSK, it also has a much larger attack surface. While WPA-PSK networks have only one valid password, there may be thousands of valid username and password combinations which grant access to a single WPA Enterprise network. Further, passwords used to access WPA Enterprise networks are commonly selected by end users, many of whom select extremely common passwords.

Air-Hammer has several advantages over current attacks against WPA Enterprise networks including:

Client-less attacks

Potentially larger attack surface

Minimal hardware requirements
